The question is practically rhetorical. There are people, like Sasuke, who belong to Hillingdon without being hunters themselves. Those are the exception rather than the rule. This guy looks like he has enough moxie to at least use the weapon and Ringer's too fed up with the place to stay any longer. The money isn't all that important anyway.

"Here." Ringer shoves the crossbow against his chest, turned so that it faces off in some random direction and the handle pushes against him. It's clear that the weapon has no bolts in place or attached, a nice but old-fashioned piece with no clear flaws. She won't release it until he seems to accept it, either maintaining its pressure against him or releasing it to his care.

Her frustration wanes as she tries to force it on him, her expression more neutral. It's clear that whatever pissed her off was left inside and he just has the unfortunate luck of riding out the tail end of her mood with her.
